Nice job on the kayak cart and thanks for a new idea on a one day project.

I'm currently preparing to build a kayak trailer for carrying two kayaks. I have the trailer and a plastic double-lid truck tool box (identical to this) plus the angle iron for the basic frame. The uprights and cross-arms are in the works.

If anyone has any ideas, or better yet, plans, for wheel cover/mud flaps, please pass them along to me.

ok Frank865 since you caught it - this is a good example of my having too much time on my hands.

Made from golf club irons, it measures about 24" in diameter and weighs about 95 lbs.

I was all set to make it when a friend asked if it was weatherproof.
Since all the irons were carbon steel, I said "probably not".

He said "why don't you use stainless clubs and then it can go outside"

(Great - Thanks a lot now you just made it cost at least 10 times what I had budgeted.)

But actually it only took about 6 months of yard sales and thrift stores to get enough stainless clubs to make it.

Stand is piece of 3" IIPS pipe and base is 20" diameter flanged and dished carbon steel pressure vessel head. Ring is a kids mini trampoline I found in the trash. Added it after I found it was too tippy and didn't want anyone to get hurt if it fell over.

After I took the photo, I had the stand sand blasted and powder coated white.
